"During the last ten years writers from France, the United States and Spanish America, and, although rarely, also in other countries, have begun to use the terms Latin America, Latin American, for the old and proper terms Spanish America, Spanish American. A third term, Ibero America, Ibero American, is also used by recent writers. Which are the proper terms? Which should we use? In the following article I beg to discuss this matter briefly."
